[557-568] Now I’m pretty positive about this. That this is where I’m supposed to be. I am good enough to do this and maybe I’m not good enough to do this, but the fact that I work hard and that my professors are willing to help me through this. No one can get through engineering if they’re just all by themselves. You’re human, you can’t, yeah. So professors are there to help instruct you and yeah, so they’re the reason that people are not homeschooled to get their bachelor’s in engineering. That’s not the way that works because you can’t do it. So I’m looking forward to having these mentors, these professors as mentors over the next couple years and increasing my knowledge of engineering as I get internships over the next couple summers. Crazy to think that next summer is my last summer before I graduate, but after the summer I only have one more internship because I’m thrown out into the ocean and expected to get a real job, and keep it for more than 12 weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
